CLUSTERING GROUPS BY SIMILARITY 5 Groups of Universities

A Classification Model using Discriminant Analysis (The higher the number of the group the better )

A LINEAR REGRESSION MODEL Using ( stepwise ) selected variables SCORE = 1268 + 2, 07 WR + 1, 41 ED + 1, 32 WS ( Relative Impacts Order ) R-Sq= 89, 9% • WR Water way of use in campus ( contributes with 63% ) • ED Universities role preparing new generations concerned with sustainability issues ( contributes with 17% ) • WS Waste treatment and recycling activities ( contributes with 10% ) Now we know where to start !
